P2 sounds good but why not a HD

<<<<[Chris Bell] "I think P2's record time limitations are great. Reminds me of shooting 100' spools of film with an ARRI S. Makes you THINK before you shoot. I find younger "dv" directors/shooters like to gather 100 times more footage than they would ever use in the edit." >>>

Chris,
90%+ of productions in the world have nothing to do with filmmaking. Those that are actually making movies that are for true release are in a niche group if compared to the volume of EFP, ENG work that goes on in the world . So time limited P2 and cost is a big issue.

Hi Jan,

Yes. We should wait for the cameras release before we concieve of workarounds that may not be necessary. I think your little smiley faces say a lot. :>)

Cheers,

I think the fact than Jan is on this board and others, shows Panasonic are very interested in hearing and reacting to public opinion. It’s an encouraging sign. Just think if Sony had done the same thing when everyone was saying “We want 24P” in the dev stages of the Z1 – maybe it would have turned out a little different.

With all the concerns floating around I would have guessed these are issues that Panasonic have already thought about and hopefully addressed.

we’ll see soon.
